Typifying a once-popular but nowadays seldom-encountered species of turn-of-the-century ephemera, it has become a rarity much prized by bibliophiles. See how the beards of Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau stack up against those of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Also includes: Fundamentals of Beard Flirtation, in which readers learn the etiquette and code of beard poses and gestures; fortune-telling through beard-reading (pogonomancy); beard-based folklore and controversies (Public Statues: Dignitaries or Dust Catchers?”)Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 191mmItem Length: 133mmItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 288gAuthor: Upton Uxbridge UnderwoodIllustrator: Mahendra SinghContributor: Gilbert Alter-Gilbert (Commentaries by), Jack Passion (Introduction by), Mahendra Singh (Illustrated by)Genre: Humour & Joke BooksRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
